Sports Betting Rules are a set of rules that have been created to remind the sports bettor of certain rules that they should always keep in mind. These rules apply to everyone regardless of the experience they have in the realm of betting on sports. Some of the rules are simple and some are complex but they all have the same end result—making money betting sports.
•Rule #21 - Handicapping The Superbowl -   The Superbowl is the premier event of the year and football fans and gamblers always gather to make wager on the big game. Since it is one of the most bet on sporting events in the world it only makes sense that it is handicapped differently than a regular season game. Here are a few rules to follow when handicapping the big game.
•Rule #20 - NFL Prop Bets - The end of the football season is near and with that comes the fact that there are just not many football games on the weekend. This does two things. Leaves the options to bet very limited and it allows Vegas to get a good look at the number.
•Rule #19 - Dont Get Caught In the Moment - Last week was the wild card weekend in the NFL. Baltimore, New York, Dallas, and Arizona advanced to the next round. Baltimore and New York pulled off decent upsets and the Cowboys ran all over the Eagles again. They were all great victories but don’t make a mistake and read into it too much. Â
•Rule #18 - Betting the 2010 NFL Playoffs - The playoffs is a sad time of year for some because it signifies the end of the NFL season but for others it is a great time of year because every game could be a teams last one and they go all out. For a sports handicapper and football bettor it can be a money making time of year. Here are just a few things to look at when approaching the playoffs this year.Â
•Rule #17 - Handicapping NFL Injuries - When it comes to handicapping sports injuries always play a significant role in the outcome of the game. In order to use them as an effective tool then the sports bettor has to know where to locate them and how to use them efficiently as a handicapping tool. This week the 101 discusses injuries in the NFL and the best way to go about using them to handicap.Â
•Rule #16 - Ranked vs. Unranked Basketball Favorites  - College basketball is here and when betting college hoops over the years I have noticed several line spots over the years. First let me explain what a line spot is. A line spot is a line that looks to be too good to be true. Other handicappers call this a trap, or a stinky line, or even too good to be true line. I call it a line spot and will refer to it as this throughout the article.Â
•Rule #15 - Betting NCAA Championship Games -  If you love college football this is a great time of year. The season is winding down and it always goes by so quickly. What should be a sad time is often replaced with joy because the best teams in the country battle in the Championships. Before the bowl games and before the BCS issues there is no debate when a team plays for a championship. It could be the SEC or the ACC or even smaller conferences the championship games always make for some great entertainment and betting opportunities.

Rule #14

My articles usually try to cover techniques to try and use when betting on a football game or any sporting event, but there is something even more important that needs to be covered first.

This is the calm before the storm when it comes to handicapping sports. Right now there is only really one major sport to handicap and that is baseball. Soon that will all change.

Then the sports will be plentiful and the handicapper will be able to choose from baseball, football, and college football with basketball looming around the corner.

Rule #8
- Handicapping the second half of the MLB Season -
The Major League Baseball season has hit the halfway point of the season with the All-Star game. Major leagues teams now have to adjust for the second half of the season and adjust their approach for the remainder of the season. As a baseball bettor there are also adjustments to be made. The second half of the season is much different than the first half and a different approach to handicapping must be used or it may end up in costing the bettor in the long run.

• Rule #3 - Money Management - Novice sports bettors often fail to realize how important it is to manage your money when they first begin wagering on sports. Since the goal is to win as much money as possible the focus is often on winning and not losing.  Winning is fun and is the ultimate goal, but knowing and respecting the losing portion of sports gambling is more important than winning will ever be.Â
